well, the year 2014 is just about over. And what a year it has been. As per usual, there have been many highs, and sadly, many lows for the year.

Major Stories (in no particular order):- Sydney Hostage Siege, at Lindt Café, killing two hostages. - Major air disasters: including, Malaysian Flight 370 "disappearance"; Ukraine/ Russia shot down of plane; current Air Asia disappearance in Indonesia- Major bushfires early February in SA and Vic; WA had fires in Jan- Peter Cosgrove replaces Quentic Bryce as Governor General- Adam Goodes named '14 Australian of the Year- blade-runner Oscar Pistorious found not guilty of Murder of his girlfriend- Rolf Harris and Robert Hughes convicted of being sex predators. Disgusting!
